The GOP has defined itself for 8 years as Obama's opposition. It's an open question as to how they will pivot to be a governing party.

Ryan: “one of the biggest for this race is the constitution itself... we believe in the constitution. We have an agenda to get people back to work. We want the federal government to respect the states. This is exciting.

“He set the right tone with his speech, which is to be magnanimous, to be presidential and bring people together.”

Ryan says “Donald and I have had fantastic conversations.” He’s also spoken with his good friend Mike Pence.

“How do we make sure that when his hand comes off the Bible, when he’s sworn in as president, that we are hitting the ground running?

Ryan: 'the opportunity is to go big and go bold'

“The opportunity is now here, and the opportunity is to go big and go bold,” Ryan says. “What I see here is great potential... the opportunity to get back to work for the American people. Donald Trump pulled off an amazing political feat.”

Ryan: 'this is good for our country'

Ryan is asked about Trump’s remarks about women and Latinos. Ryan says he tells Wisconsinites, think of all that a united Republican government can do.

Ryan praises Trump for delivering Wisconsin for the first time since 1984.

Ryan is asked about Obamacare. Ryan says it’s not popular and is “collapsing under its own weight.”

“Now we have president Trump coming who is asking us to fix this... there are so many things I’m excited about... there is relief coming. This is good for our country. This means we can list the repressive weight of the regulatory state... think of the ... judges. This is very exciting. “

Ryan says Trump 'just earned a mandate'

I think we’re going to hit the ground running... I think what Donald Trump just pulled off is an enormous political feat... he just earned a mandate. And we now just had a unified Republican government.
